Anyone know what the name of the book is?

UMANWILLI:  TAIL OF HARIBASKO  By Phillip Nester

Lot of people still living in the past with past hosts.

Seem to have trouble letting go.

It's unfortunate that her son's book didn't sell well but that's certainly not uncommon these days. I think that calling it heart shattering is just too much. But it seems that Antonella doesn't have degrees of disappointment or sadness. It's always the worst of the worst.

@nambee  She's claiming the book sold more copies than the publisher stated, so therefore they've cheated her son out of money. 🤔

She is ALWAYS playing the victim and ALWAYS looking for sympathy. TOTAL loser.

Lots of replies that her followers are going to buy the book to support him, which probably was the plan all along 🤦🏻‍♀️

she seems to whine. A Lot!!  Self published books, or vanity publishings  are a risk.  I wouldn't do it.  It cost him quite a bit to publish book, if he did indeed self published.  Certainly if he was cheated out of money, hire a lawyer.  He is intitled to his money.  There are so mny hidden kinds of costs with self publish.  Most in the finer, finer print. lol. Antonella needs to quit living off the kindness of others.  Get on with it. She isn't by far the only person suffering in this world. So many people I know have hit bad times, not just financially ...but emotionally.  Personally ...I can't tell you which is worse. Sigh. I am sure everyone here has had a touch of either one of those ills in their life time. Antonella needs to maybe get a real life, not the one she lives online in Social Media. Both her and her husband weathered quite a bit,and eked by.  Be grateful for that. But she seems to move from one crisis to another.

seems reviews, all 9 of them (since April) are posted by his mom, Antonella, his dad Chris, and a couple others reviewers that  look like family   Of course everyone does that.  we lol would all want to  support our family.  But, do they sell the book nowhere else than Amazon?  Only 9 reviews, I know many probably didn't leave a review, but only 9 reviews....I wonder how many he could have sold to squabble about. Maybe he isn't the one complaining, maybe it is her.  ?

She's a grifter.

@pdlinda - Thanks.  I lost interest after the first few lines of the sample provided.

And only the first 3 reviews are "Verified Purchase", one of them being Antonella.

Does she really think leaving a five-star review for her son will help boost sales?  Lacks credibility.  She may be lucky they paid him for 35 copies sold.  And $24.95 for an unknown author?  No, thanks.
